| Hi A few weeks ago I had some great advice for accompanying a singer with piano. I rushed out and bought Diana Krall’s first album and struck gold when I discovered her solo version of ‘Body and Soul’. That one track illustrates perfectly the approach I plan to take when it comes to backing a singer on slow standards. I would like to play “How deep is the Ocean” in a similar style, any suggestions for voicing (in C) the first 4 bars of the song? - I am using the Ralph Patt leadsheet : | Cm | Cm maj7 | Cm7 |Cm6 D7 | How should I voice chords on this progression to give it that solo Krall effect? (‘So What?’, Bill Evans perhaps). Perhaps I should use substitute chords instead? Note: This is the same progression as ‘Blue Skies’ and ‘My Funny Valentine’. Looking forward to advice! Bro’ Davies | |
